Which classes will be suitable for my child

Your child will be placed in a class with children of a similar age and ability. Ballet lessons are structured and fun. Each begins with a warm up routine so that everyone is ready to dance safely. The students learn the moves, principles and techniques of ballet dancing as well as the underpinning knowledge, such as the correct terminology for each move.

Depending upon their class, pupils may work towards a performance or prepare for an external examination.

Dance Clothing, Ballet Shoes & Accessories

You don’t need to buy a lot of new kit before starting ballet lessons. We encourage you to come for a trial lesson before you enrol with us and suggest you wear comfortable clothing. Sports kit or leggings are suitable. We can lend you a pair of shoes to try out.

If your child wants to enrol we can offer advice about clothes and shoes, recommend good value clothing suppliers and we hold a small stock of second hand uniform.
